Who Will Play Britney Spears in The Woman in Me?
In October 2023, Britney Spears released her first memoir, The Woman in Me, which sold 1.1 million copies in its first week.
The book became a number one New York Times bestseller and earned critical acclaim.
Cut to three months later and the memoir had sold three million copies internationally, selling two million in the US alone.
Unsurprisingly, Universal Studios secured the movie rights to the book, and the memoir will soon be adapted into a film, with Wicked’s Jon M. Chu directing the biopic.
Naturally, fans of the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer are eager to know who will take on the lead role.

Who Could Play Britney Spears?
Sabrina Carpenter is a name on many people’s lips to play Britney Spears. The “Espresso” singer has called Britney a pop icon and has even performed a fantastic cover of the pop icon’s first single, “… Baby One More Time.”
Also, Carpenter has the acting talent to command the lead role, as she got her big break in the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World (2014-2017), and has starred in various films, such as Tall Girl (2019) and Work It (2020). Plus, she made her Broadway debut in Mean Girls in 2020.
Sydney Sweeney is another actress who could take on the role of the pop princess. The talented actress is quickly building an enviable filmography, appearing in Euphoria (2019-2022), Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood (2019), The White Lotus (2021), and Anyone But You (2023).
There is no doubt she can portray Britney’s fragile sincerity, but it’s unknown if she can sing and act, which will determine if she’s suitable for the part.
Addison Rae could be a top choice to play Britney Spears, as she dances with the same level of sensuality, energy, and passion as the “Toxic” singer.
Also, the actress-singer grew up in Louisiana, just like Britney, and has experienced much scrutiny from the public for her outgoing personality.
Millie Bobby Brown has, however, thrown her hat in the ring to play Britney Spears. The Stranger Things actress has stated she dreams of playing the star in her biopic, as she said in 2022, “Just growing up in the public eye, watching her videos, watching her interviews of how when she was younger… I don’t know her, but when I look at pictures of her, I feel like I could tell her story in the right way, and hers only.”
As Stranger Things will end after its fifth season, Millie Bobby Brown might be eager to sink her teeth into a new project, and she might be more than happy to take on the role of Britney Spears in The Woman in Me.
